'Tis The Season...

... to be jolly, fa la la la laa, la la la laaaaaaa...

My Christmas tree is up. It actually went up a few weeks ago. It's not a REAL Christmas tree. I mean, it's real ENOUGH. It's not IMAGINARY. If you threw it at someone, it'd hit them. But it's made from assorted plastics and stuff. Also it's black. It looks awesome, but lacks that Christmas tree smell. But I don't mind that. My folks have a real Christmas tree up, and that's where Christmas happens anyway, so who cares if my house doesn't smell of pine needles? Not me. Not really.

Not... really...

Anyway, yes, the tree. It's up. The presents are bought. They're not wrapped, but they're bought. Most of them. Okay, I haven't a clue what to get my dad, but he's a dad. He'll be happy with socks. Fathers are simple creatures. 

So... tree up. Presents bought. These are things I set aside time to do, because I needed to set aside time. I've been so busy lately that if I hadn't set aside this time, I just wouldn't get around to it. There are loads of things I just didn't have time for, like sending out Christmas cards. I love sending out cards. I try to combine it with answering all the letters from readers, so when I send off a reply, they get a Christmas card too. How lovely! But not this year. Answering all those letters, sending all those cards, would take two days at a minimum, and they are two days I can't afford to take off writing. 

The writing is going well, by the way. I've been focussing on short stories these last three weeks, building up quite a collection of new stuff. Each of these stories will be told in a different "voice" than the one you're used to. You'll see what I mean when you read them. 

One thing that I haven't decided on yet are the Christmas Skype calls I was planning on making. Essentially, I was going to take an hour one day and just fit as many three-minute Skype calls into that hour as I could. It seemed like a lovely idea at the time, but I'm not so sure anymore. Not everyone who wanted a call would be available on that hour, and so I'd have to field quite a few complaints. Then there'd be the people who'd want a one-on-one chat, when I'd only be comfortable chatting if there were two or more people in the room with you. Basically, my idea would end up causing a whole lot of hassle that I could really do without, so I just don't know. 

Okay then, enough jibber-jabber. I have work to do. 

Be cool, my Minions.

Your fertilizer will arrive at your bar in four days time. It will get there this time, don't worry. I'll see to it myself.
And I always get it done.

*Takes cup* Thank you. I am here to enquire about a job working for a Miss Precocious

Noelle said...

(WB ED)

*After the straightener heats up, she very carefully, meticulously, runs it through her hair*
*Multiple times*
*Even once completely missing her hair and closing the straightener around her ear, which, suffice to say, hurt like a bitch*
*Fluffs it out a bit, then turns the straightener off*
*Within minutes, has her face looking in tip-top condition, and she smiles, liking that she actually looks rather beautiful*
*Smile falls*
*Drops her head into her hands* What the hell am I even doing...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Very good. Out of interest, what would've happened if I'd gone upstairs with those gentlemen?

Fortunately for you, there will be no need for your execution. Yet.
Though I would suggest you don't stick around.)

Noelle said...

*Gets up and runs to the sink, and quickly removes all of her makeup, before looking at her hair*
...

That one will be a bit harder to do.
*Begins to run a brush through it, hoping to fluff it out a bit and get it to it's natural wave*

*Fails*
*Lets head fall against the wall, then looks up at the ceiling, raising her arms*

If there is an omniscient voice from above, I would love some advice right now.

*waits*

Dammit.

Edward Fletcher said...

Well, I have a variety of skills that I am sure your company could use. I am a very good assassin

The Grave of a Coward said...

Precocious: Oh, Edward, forgive me, but I have no need for a personal assassin. And I don't have a company.
Erm . . . Mr. Neurotic does, however.
Though I believe he recently hired a gentleman murderer as his personal assassin.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

How about I make you a deal? I'll never return, to this building, so you won't have to deal with me killing all your new, up to date guards, if you give me a shipment of chimera fertilizer every friday. What do you say?

#ChaseForBook9

Edward Fletcher said...

I was undeer the ipression you were an, forgive the term but, an evil mastermind

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

(Hmm is it safe to assume Nic vanished?)

Noelle said...

*Sits down and continues talking to the omniscient voice*
Honestly, I would love some feedback here. It is, uncharacteristically, guy troubles.
I mean
Serious.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Photo: Eh . . .
*tilts his head*
That would be pretty expensive. What kind of get-it-done man would I be if I put that weight on the company?
*waves a dismissive hand*
No deal, my man.

The Grave of a Coward said...

*raises an eyebrow in surprise*
I am a monster hunter, good Edward. Nothing more than that.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

But the alternative is paying to get new guards EVERY Friday. So, what's more expensive, chimera fertilizer, or a new force of guards?

you know you wasted your childhood when you bring your younger brothers to see the moshi monster movie and you know the lyrics to all the songs.

Well, I would appreciate it if you could tell me where to find this Mr Neurotic. I dont enjoy working for others but we all need money. *Drinks tea*

Noelle said...

(I'm like that with the Iron Giant, Mara. *nods*)

*Pauses*
So basically, my idiot brother and sister were being awful and they planted an idea into my mind, and ever since then I've been questioning a lot of things about my relationship, and it's been driving me insane, because I don't want to, but my mind is making me face them.

Goodness I sound like a silly teenager.

But really. I've lived for more than four-hundred years, one would think that I would have figured this one out.

The truth is, after Cain left and our marriage ended, I actually completely lost interest. I devoted my life to my child, and then... Well, afterward, I couldn't do much. All that mattered to me, was the work, and I never dealt with the pain, and now it's come back to bite me, and I honestly haven't the faintest idea what to do.

It's a bit unfortunate sometimes that he's like me- dedicated to his work.
*Pauses*
I don't think he even knows how much I need him, and his support.


And look at me now, talking to a wall. *Sighs* This is ridiculous.

You know, I have a friend who does things very similar to you. He tricks the mind, but he makes you think you're dead, or something even equally horrible.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

I do wander everywhere
Swifter than the moon's sphere
And I serve the fairy queen
To few her orbs upon the green
The cowslips tall her pensioners be
In their gold coats, spots you see
Those be rubies, fairy favors
In those freckles live their savors
I must go seek some dewdrops here
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear
Farewell, thou lob of spirits, I'll be gone
Our queen and all her elves come here anon

Edward Fletcher said...

well, that is the matter I wish to speak with Mr Neurotic about giant man

Star Inkbright said...

You know, if I finish this project, and then I do loads more that are really similar, then it can be next year's Christmas present to you all. :)

*he would see that he was standing, dumbstruck, in the lobby*
*with Gary's razor blade pressed against his throat*

Photo: Check and mate.

Edward Fletcher said...

*Crawls after Gary and scratches his leg*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

So you mean, I just thought I was using all those attacks? And I didn't use my chocolate button? Damnit. Just one moment please. *begins to focus on the razor very hard, trying to break the illusion*

Gary: *still pressing the razor to the catatonic Trip's throat*
*shoots Photo Finish a concerned look*
*mouths "Kill him?"*

Photo: *standing there*
*breathing heavily from the exertion*

Gary: *a voice echoes in his head*
*Photo's voice*

Photo's Voice: Kill him?
Heavens, no, he's a diamond.
Give his throat a good slash and let him walk away from this.
Not enough to kill him, just enough to remind him.

Gary: *nods*
*and slashes Trip's pale throat*

And now I finally get an idea, and then I have to leave.

Isn't that just how that works? Sigh.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*the illusion snaps thanks to the combination of pain and focus*

Practise makes perfect, bitch. *energy, moving very quickly, slams Gary into a wall, and then, as Trip draws his sword, it brings Photo's neck right up the the blade*

Victory, is mine. As one more inch, and your windpipe would have a serious leak.

You know, that slash really hurt, it was very mean.

Edward Fletcher said...

Bye Fabi

Noelle said...

Bye Fabi *waves* :/

Sir said...

Good bye, Ms. Fabienne.

The Grave of a Coward said...

Gary: *slams into the wall*
*as the temperature of the lobby drops by 200 degrees*
AH!

Photo: *chuckles drily*
Castalan, Castalan, we could do this all day.
Shall we agree . . .
*holds out his hand*
. . . to a draw?
You don't return, and we keep you in fertilizer for one year.
And we can both agree that the real loser of this fight was Gary.

Gary: But I wasn't even fighting . . !

Edward Fletcher said...

You know Gary, if you give someone long enough, they can work out your weakness. You gave me plenty of time so I will give you one last chance. Take me to your boss. and Trip, you wont kill him yet

Noelle said...

*Stumbles into the office room after much search and backtracking*
*Sighs*
Finally.

*Glances at where Trip was*

...

Typical.
*Gathers up her book and moves outside the doors again, curling up in the hallways with her book*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well I dunno, I think I won, I mean, I would've killed you, and I mean, Gary, what the hell has Gary got on this? I mean, *a very warm ball of energy appears by Photo and Trip*

Powers nullified.

#ChaseForBook9

The Grave of a Coward said...

Gary: *mutters* Your FACE is nullified.

Photo: Now is not the time, Gary.
Take my offer or leave it, Trip.
The choice is yours.

Gary: *angrily snaps his fingers*
*the ball of energy freezes over*
*falls*
*and shatters on the ground*

The Grave of a Coward said...

(I really do have to go soon . . .)

Edward Fletcher said...

*Walks past Gary up a staircase reading the names of the doors*

Dragona Pine said...

Hello.



I was wondering what to do with an Amazon voucher I got for Christmas. And now I have a new (and good) laptop, I might get Skyrim and mod the crap out of it just for fun. I have it on the PS3 but yeah... flying, invincible, fire-breathing rabbit preventing me from doing so.
So I'll probably get it on the pc instead.

Edward Fletcher said...

Hello Dragona

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I accept your offer, despite the fact your life is in my hands. Good day. You were a worthy opponent.

Not you, Gary. You were fairly rubbish. *walks out of the lobby, and into the street, and off into the sunset*

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Herrow Dragona.

(Goodbye, all.)

Edward Fletcher said...

Bye Annika

Noelle said...

*Stomach growls slightly*
*Pulls a bottled water from her bag and almost downs the whole thing*
*it makes a loud crackling, plastic-y sound*
*Is nearly finished with reading her Milton book*

*It's actually getting quite boring, yet it's still a classic*

Sir said...

Good bye, Ms. Barnosky.

Dragona Pine said...

I mean, Skyrim, too, has Mass Effect mods. I can give myself biotics and have a Quarian as a follower and give myself a Quarian helmet.

Then, just because I can, I'll make myself be able to change into some animals.

Don't forget the shout thingy which lets me spam like 100000 cheeses everywhere.

Also maybe download the mod creator and make a powerful weapon just for fun.

Noelle said...

(I heard that Skyrim has a Weeping Angel mod somewhere...

Maybe

Perhaps it was something different.)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*stands beside Adra*

Hello Dear.

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

I'll try that, too. That'll be fun.


Oh god, there's a machine gun mod. I want one.

Noelle said...

*Nearly spits her water out* *Chokes* *coughs* You little...

*Coughs* A little warning next time

Edward Fletcher said...

*Looks round at buildings in blogland* Lab? No Bar? *Walks up to bar and knocks*

Noelle said...

(This is the best. I was talking to my friend, and some guys start joking about rape and homophobia on a status of his and we are SHOOTING THEM DOWN I FEEL ALIVE)
(Man. Those assholes deserve it.)
(Resist the temptation, Dragona :P)

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*no response comes from the bar*

Sorry, I forget how quietly I move. You did your hair.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Blinks*
*Silently curses herself*

I might have... Ran a comb through it, it was looking awful.

Edward Fletcher said...

Damn, *walks up to lake and throws last penny in* Thats it

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*laughs* I love you. *leans in, and softly kisses Adra*

#ChaseForBook9

Dragona Pine said...

I want a machine gun! Everyone will be using bows and swords and maces... I want a machine gun.

Noelle said...

*Smiles, softly kisses him back*
